1. Gather all materials needed for 1 panel. Listed above.
2. Make the leg pieces first. Glue a short piece to an elbow fitting. Then glue a tee fitting to the other end of the same short piece. Make sure that the open end of the elbow is lined up with the open end of the tee so that the panel is not crooked. This is where a table comes in handy. You can lay out the 3 fittings on the table as shown, and then insert the pipes where needed. |
3. Repeat Step 2 to make the second leg piece. It will look identical to the first one.
4. Now you will make the middle piece by taking one short piece and glue a tee fitting to one end. Then glue a cross fitting to the other end of the same short piece. Then take another short piece and glue it to the cross fitting. Then take another cross and glue it to the end of that short piece. |
5. Now that you have both leg pieces and the middle piece made you will now start putting them together with the rest of the panel. You will now be taking your "long" pieces of pipe (see reference above), and glue them into the open fittings on one of the leg pieces. There will be one long piece going into the elbow fitting, and one long piece going into each of the tee fittings.
